Shower question: Adding a flexible hose to a fixed overhead fitting
I've got a thermostatic shower with a fixed rose. The pipe (looks like 15mm, chrome) is fixed to the wall going up to one of those rain-shower heads.
I've seen showers that have dual heads, i.e. a fixed head like I've got but also a flexible hose with a diverter valve of some sort, so that you can choose which head gets the feed. Does anyone know if there's a way to retro-fit such a thing? I can't find anywhere that sells them and much as I've assured my wife that I could fig something up using 15mm ball lever vales, I think she'd like something that looks a bit more professional. If you can't buy them separately, withoug having to buy the entire kit, does anyone have suggestions for any type of 3-way diverter value that I could use? (My plumbing skills are good). Thanks. |

Thanks a million for the reply. At least I now know they exist, even if I'm not prepared to pay that price for one.
Looks like I'll have to rig sopmething up using lever ball valves. Thanks. |
